The small collection is just the beginning of his expansion into mobile content media. It allows him to publish ringtones which are often deemed, by entertainment industry standards, to be unsuitable for the general public. There are plans to expand the store as soon as Xingtone upgrades its site. You can find it online at http://www.noqontrol-ringtones-wallpapers.com/ Being an artist involved with mobile media is to be everywhere and nowhere in the same time.
The ringtone format is the shortest musical form ever, not unlike the Japanese form of haiku. The ringtone is not only a messenger but a personal statement.

(ContentDesk) October 9, 2005 -- Yet another years growth in the mobile ringtone market has confirmed its position as a major force in the music industry. Once considered a passing craze, ringtones now account for more than 10% of the global music market and are overtaking CD sales sooner than expected.

But, following the advent of true polyphonic ringtones in 2003, the realisation of their potential has developed a fresh momentum.Unable to ignore the ringtone market, the music business has come to embrace its future and its influence on youth culture.

ZaptoPhone Opens the Web to Cell Phones
Boston MA, (ContentDesk)
September 28, 2004 -- Unwired Appeal announced the launch of ZaptoPhone, a mobile entertainment service designed to easily enable websites to offer their photos, graphics, sounds, and music files to cell phone users. Websites can begin using the service by simply following the instructions on www.zaptophone.com. "We were kicking around some ideas on how to help new independent bands promote their music as ringtones,"
recalled Stephen Nye, director of business development at Unwired Appeal, "when it quickly became apparent that managing such a diversity of files from a large number of bands just wasn't realistic. So we came up with the idea of simply letting the individual websites host and manage their own content and we developed Zaptags that are inserted in their web pages to identify their files and make them accessible to cell phones."
The ZaptoPhone service now...
